I might as well complete my question before I move on. The next speakers will be Deputy Richmond, Deputy Ó Murchú and Senator Chambers, in that order.

Is there any scope to broaden the projects that might be considered beyond simply the Border region? Obviously, peacebuilding can be done on an all-island basis. How does the Minister envisage the programme dovetailing or working with the Taoiseach’s initiative and the €500 million expended there as there will be overlap?
